When did Ford sedan deliveries first feature an integral steel roof?

What do you mean by integral? The change over from fabric inserts to steel inserts or a steel welded top? Now my 39 Ford Sedan Delivery has a steel roof which replaced the fabric roof of a 36 Sedan delivery. But the insert is tarred in place at the edges of where the fabric top used to be so you might not call this integral. It has a visible seam at the juncture. This steel insert I think replaced the fabric insert in 37 as Ford went to "all steel roofs" in 37. These sedan delivery bodies were made by Briggs and for practical purposes were the same style. In 1940 Ford started making the sedan delivery body. It had an all steel welded top.
